I saw close relatives die at a relatively young age..
I was 11, that was 10 years ago.

I don't think about it too often anymore.. in fact I almost forgot his birthday this year. Mainly because my mother's birthday was a few days before and I was just making sure to pay attention to that, you know.. can't forget mom's birthday, hah.

The first few years were pretty hard, although you will see that with time...the sad memories are kindda forgotten, leaving space for only the good, important ones. Because you know, that as we age, our memory looses it's sharp edge. all I'm saying is it's important to remember the good about the person, and that everytime you think about them, you are lifted by those good feelings. I do not think about my Father often, although when I do, it is when I need that extra confidence and strength that I am lacking, at that moment.

Sorry if I went off-track.. I just can't resist a good off roading session :jointsmile:

hang in there man, people come and go.. it's the cycle of life
